Note 1: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a numerical scale used to determine how urgently a patient with liver disease needs a liver transplant within the next three months. Results from three routine lab tests are used to calculate the MELD score. Bilirubin, one of the tests, measures how effectively the liver excretes bile.

Note 2: Assay of total bilirubin includes conjugated (direct) and unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin. Record the total bilirubin value for this data item.
